Random crashes when playing games

[Eqlium]

Hello! First post I make here.

 

This issue has been stressing me out so much and tbh I don't even know what else to try.

Let me explain:

 

Whenever I play a game, my PC can run fine for a few days, but then it will start crashing even during the load screen of games like CoD WZ, Apex legends, and so on.

I have been monitoring the GPU temps, VRAM usage, CPU usage, power consumption etc, nothing abnormal, I even re-pasted the CPU and it dropped the temps by a few degrees but still crashing.

I used to have an RX 570 and with that GPU I had no problems at all, but this December I "upgraded" (at least it's somewhat better performance) to an RX 590 and that's when the problems started.

It was working fine for a month or two but since last month this problem started.

It crashes regardless of the graphical settings I use, even at the lowest with a -20% power delivery and capped fps at 60 it will still crash.

 

I keep thinking it has to be a GPU issue since It didn't have issues with the 570, but then again why would it work fine for some days and then not at all?

I can play league of legends just fine, and that's it. Every other game will crash it.

 

My PC specs are:

Ryzen 5 5600x

16 GBS Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR4 3600 MHZ

MB Asus X570-P

GPU XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy Edition

XPG Spectrix 512 GB M.2 NVME

EVGA Supernova 750 watts 80+gold (brand new, got it last week)

Windows 11 with the latest updates.

 

I have repasted the GPU, changed RAM slots, repasted CPU, replaced the PSU, reinstalled GPU Drivers.

 

At the moment I'm out of ideas, I don't have another GPU I can test with and honestly I'm scared of buying a whole new GPU and still having the issue.

Is there a way to narrow down the issue?

 

Note: I can't RMA the gpu since I bought it from a friend, and he bought it in January or February 2020 right before the pandemic, so warranty is past due.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide <3

Did the issues start before or after your new PSU?

I assume you've sold your 570

Ask your friend if it's okay to borrow his GPU for a bit to test stuff.

Before the new PSU, I had a very old PSU (about 10 years old 650 watts) and i thought it could be the issue, so I replaced it to no avail

This friend lives about 5 hours away haha, I really have no access to a GPU I can borrow, in particular because, since like I mentioned, it could be a couple of days before the issue shows itself, but when it does it keeps doing it again for a few days then back and forth like that.

Did you try a full DDU clean ?

I have not done so recently.... now that you mention it.... Last time I DDU was about 2 or 3 weeks ago, when I plugged in a USB to the back of my PC my PC froze, and when I turned it on the drivers got corrupted, so I had to DDU and reinstall them, during testing (i was checking if it was a coincidence) i did it 3 times, but I haven't had that issue any more

Try doing a memtest.

also may as well do SFC /scannow too just in case

Allright Trying that out right now

Allright, MEMTEST came out with no issues, SFC said there were some errors and it fixed them.

Anything else I should try?

Try doing what usually end up in crash.

 

If it's about a 2nd GPU, well..... there's always the method of :

1. Bringing it to nearest brick & mortar shop and ask them if they are willing to help you test using their GPU for a small fee.
2. Buy the cheapest GPU just for testing purpose & a "just in case" spare.
